Summary
He was about to poke his head in the door when he heard it.
"I actually have a boyfriend," Samira said, voice tight with concentration, focused on keeping her stitches even.
Abbot felt like he'd taken a punch to the gut as competing emotions swirled in his chest. She had a boyfriend. She had a boyfriend, and she had just never thought to mention it to him. All the post-shift breakfasts and emails one-upping each other with the most bizarre case studies they could dig up and soft smiles across the hub and she had a boyfriend.

Summary
He was meeting someone. And he was genuinely excited about it. He had been messaging a woman for weeks anonymously, and he was thrilled to admit they had real chemistry. It didn't erase the pull he felt for the R-3 standing next to him, but he was excited to make a connection.
"Well, I won't keep you. I'm just waiting,” she said.
"No trouble at all, Mohan." He glanced down at his phone and sent off a message.
(20:26) I'm here. By the bar. Blue sweater.
He heard the familiar ping that meant a message had been received from the app. He glanced back at his phone, but there was no message for him. Instead, Samira was looking down at her phone. Then back to him. Then to his sweater and then his face again. Her already large brown eyes doubled in size.
Jack felt realization wash over him. Shit.

Summary
Never mind the next two weeks, the next eight hours stretched endlessly in front of him. He had no idea how to occupy his time. His house was basically empty, which sounded sad but was really a good thing, evidence he’d built himself the life he wanted – where he always had something to do, outside and with other people. Ilya had been restless for as long as he could remember, had never been able to sit still. He’d gotten in trouble for it as a kid at the dinner table and he got in trouble for it as a full grown man on the team bus. He’d gotten in trouble for it when the doctors had been trying to take the x-ray, his leg jumping without his permission.
Ilya gets injured, stops leaving the house, loses his mind, learns to read tarot, and sends Shane Hollander a lot of photos.

Summary
It’s hard for her to pinpoint exactly when they’d gone from antagonistic allies to friends, too long since the transition had occurred as well, but she is glad for it. His friendship throughout the years, though unexpected, has been an important one.
Her only regret is that at some stage she went and fell in love with him.
